Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend), baking powder, sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined. In a separate bowl, stir together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold together using a spatula. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light; some small lumps are fine.
- Preheat and Grease the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, brushing it lightly with oil to prevent sticking and ensure golden crispy edges.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter in generous amounts onto the waffle iron, spreading it gently. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 4 to 6 minutes depending on your appliance.
- Serve Immediately or Keep Warm: Transfer cooked waffles onto a wire rack to prevent sogginess and keep warm until ready to serve, or enjoy them fresh while hot.
Notes
- Measure ingredients precisely for consistent fluffy texture.
- Avoid overmixing to keep the batter airy and prevent tough waffles.
- Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated for crisp edges and even cooking.
- Use fresh natural vanilla extract to enhance flavor quality.
- Cool waffles on a wire rack to prevent steam buildup and sogginess.
- Add toppings just before serving for freshness and visual appeal.
